This is a series where I’ll post a few of my favorite lines from books.
I first read The Martian this summer while I was at the beach. I saw that it was sitting at the top of several lists on Amazon so I thought I’d give it a shot.
It was great! And what I thought was best of all, the author started out self-publishing. All you need to do is write a book with witty banter that thoroughly breakdown space travel, potato farming, chemical formulas, thermodynamics, astrophysics, and all of NASA’s astronaut jargon and you’ve got a blockbuster movie in the making. See struggling writers, there hope for us yet.
